About Natascha Morris
Natascha Morris is Senior Literary Agent and Director of the Children’s Department at The Tobias Literary Agency, which she joined in 2020 after working at BookEnds Literary Agency and Simon & Schuster.
She holds a B.A. in English Literary Studies and an M.S. in Publishing (Pace University, class of 2013), and is a member of the Association of American Literary Agents (AALA; member since 2023).
Her clients and projects include Laura Taylor Namey’s A Cuban Girl’s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow (New York Times bestseller; Reese Witherspoon x Hello Sunshine Book Club YA pick); Chatham Greenfield’s Time and Time Again (Stonewall Honor; Reese Witherspoon Book Club LitUp pick); Raissa Figueroa’s illustration for We Wait for the Sun (Coretta Scott King Honor) and Oona; Teresa Robeson’s Queen of Physics (Asian/Pacific American Awards for Literature Picture Book winner); Zoe Persico’s How to Talk to Your Succulent (Ignatz Award nominee); and titles including Andi Porretta’s Roofhoppers, Jessica Stremer’s Lights Out, and Sheila Colón-Bagley’s La Noche Before Three Kings Day.
She represents picture books, middle grade (including graphic novels), young adult across most genres (including graphic novels), illustrators, and selectively new adult and adult commercial/cozy fiction. She seeks bold, emotional, voice-driven narratives with layered characters; lyrical and atmospheric writing; genre-blending tales; speculative worlds; rom-coms and coming-of-age stories; and stories from marginalized authors, including authors with disabilities and chronic illnesses. She is not open to science fiction in any category.
